Joe Royle is preparing for his 1,000th game in football management tonight when Ipswich Town host Reading.
His side entertain the division leaders in a Coca-Cola Championship showdown at Portman Road (kick-off 7.45pm).
And it will be a major landmark for Royle, who was previously in charge of Oldham Athletic, Everton and Manchester City.
Royle said: "Our home form has been excellent so far this year with six wins from six, and we hope to continue that return."
